[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] configure: add -fno-semantic-interposition to optflags

[Andreas Rheinhardt]

Anton Khirnov:
> Gcc flag -fsemantic-interposition, which is on by default with current
> gcc versions, makes the compiler assume exported symbols can be
> interposed by the linker, which prevents various kinds of optimization.
> 
> Since we do not support such interposition and disable it with
> -Bsymbolic, explicitly disable this assumption.

This will add lots of dead HEVC functions in x86/hevcdsp_init.c; at
least it did this last time I checked: Several of these functions are
then inlined and because there are no callers outside of it, these
functions are dead code. Of course marking them as static would be
preferable, but that easier said than done with these macros.
